This is to inform you that the MPS are unable to proceed with your request
as we require further information from you.  

Please can you clarify if you would like cyber dependent crimes only which
is where you have to have a computer to facilitate the offence.

Or cyber enabled where the computer just makes it more effective and is an
easy vehicle to commit the fraud? 

Or both types?

 

After receiving your reply, your request will then be considered and you
will receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days.

 

However, if the requested additional information has not been received

request and will treat it as withdrawn.
